Early user: Newsol matches old 5.6-sol feel with more smarts, but Astra got harder to use

User @adonissingh reports that Newsol is "insanely efficient," feeling like the old 5.6-sol (but much smarter) on pro 200. He is however sad that Astra has only gotten harder to use, saying some magic of the big-model feel cannot be distilled well, and hopes limits improve.
